TO REVIVE A CITY.
It may be presumed that envious
rivals greatly overdraw the picture
n'hen they complacently contrast their
:>\vn situation with that of Kansas City.
to the disparagement of the latter. The
Amplified view is that the metropolis of
the Kaw has been up high in a boom,
nnd came down with pretty much the
usual effect A city of :'.00,000 in outline
lias less than half the number, and is
forced to look actively for agencies to
halt the decadence and give a start in
the recuperative direction. Whatever
Ihe proper coloring of the immediate
facts, the matter of interest is the nat
ure of the scheme proposed to retain
the industrial elements and give the ap
pearance of renewed activity and
thrift. A recent mass meeting ap
jpointed a committee of thirty prom
inent citizens to evolve a revival scheme.
The friction of their associated gray
matter has taken the shape of a bill that
the legislature is asked to enact. Us
purpose and scope are set forth in a
Kansas City paper in alluring detail of
promise. It is premised that a great
number of laboring people are idle, or
have left the city for lack of employ
jnent. The proposition is to enlarge
and extend the improvements by pav
ing new miles of stree's, laying side
walks, building sewers and opening
boulevards. As these aie done at the
expense of property owners, and
usually with the consent ot the greater
number, encouragement is to be af
forded by allowing them to be carried on
by petition of a majority of resident prop
erty owners affected, and allowing the
payments to be made in five annual in
stallments, the first a year after the
completion of the improvement. The
local sheet sees this auroral dawning in
the early perspective of the new deal :
■\\iih more people and work for all. new
industries and new enterprises will sprin?
op. Then there will be more work, more
Improvements, more people. It will be
somewhat lite a snowball that grows larger
with every roll, and the larger it grows the
faster it grows.
The outside intimation is that these
L-vtuTous enterprises can be carried on
mainly at the expense of non-resident
property owners. A great deal of East
ern capital has, not always intentionally,
found its way into realty there. If the
project is materialized, its outcome wili
be noted with interest by friendiv, as
well as jealous neighbors.
A COLORED JUDGE, PERHAPS.
Some rainbow politician of the Kepub
licau persuasion learns that the unpleas
antness that has existed in Virginia be
tween Mahone andLANC.srox, the lat
ter the leader of the colored element
which has about wrecked the party, is to
be placated and the state is to be carried
by the Republicans in 1892. The view
is that Mahone has consented to the
appointment of the sable chief as one of
the nine circuit judges the president is
to install for the relief of the supreme
c< int. The theory is that llaiiom-: and
some of the white leaders will consent
to this selection in order to remove the
factional colored leader from the polit
ical field. But if Maiioxl has the per
sonal feeling he has manifested in times
past toward the man, he will not aid
in putting him on a shelf of that orna-
mental kind. But be the personal ques
tions as they may, the opportunity is af
forded the president to show that he
wants the colored delegates from the
South in the nominating conventions
next year. Many colored people are
petitioning for the selection of a hisrh
judge from their race. They would not
see too much altitude in the supreme
court. There has been no colored man
ever put on the bench. Laxgstov is
quite respectable, and has fair educa
tion and ability. lie would not be
thought of lor that position if he were
white. His selection would be credited
to political influences entirely, and be
accepted as a bid for the colored vate in
convention. It would involve criticism
from mugwumps and those who do not
like to see judicial offices made a mat
ter or (.artisan traitic. But it maybe
guessed that the president will not ap
point any colored man a judge.
THE ABSTRACT OFFICE.
A jury of his peers, after a day's de
liberation, reported to the court last
week that they wore unable to agree as
to whether M. It. Mi iinank. the county
abstract clerk, was or was not guilty of
appropriating to his own use the public
hinds entrusted to him. The jury was
discharged, and the defendant bound
over to the next term of court. Mean
while the presumption of innocence
which the law affords attaches to him,
as to every other person accused of a
crime prior to his conviction. The con
tinuance of the present uncertainty is a
matter ot great disappointment to him
and his friends, and it is only fair that
the public should at least suspend judg
ment until the matter is anally disposed
of.
Assuming the complaints which come
to the ears of the Globe to be true,
however, it appears that if the charge
against Mr. Mi iixam: had been the
very serious one of running a slovenly
and inefficient public office there would
have been no room for disagreement in
any fair-minded jury which might be
selected to try him. An attorney whose
personal and party sympathies are en
tirely with the Democracy writes to this
office that the abstract clerk constantly
fails to meet the most definite promises
made to people compelled to use his
services, and constantly furnishes ab
stracts which are incomplete and inac
curate.
It is impossible for the Globe to fully
investigate these charges, but if tiie par
ticular one given in illustration is a fair
specimen it would seem as though
thin-rs were in a very unfortunate
shape. On a recent Tuesday afternoon,
this attorney complains, he took to the
abstract office an abstract for continu
ance and certification. The clerk in
charge agreed very seriously that it
should be ready for delivery on the fol
lowingday. Thursday morning it was
sent for, but could not be found. After
a long delay and search it was
unearthed from a massof miscellaneous
papers, where it had been tossed when
first brought in. The clerk in charge
had no explanation or apology to offer,
except that some one was working on it
and that it would be done after a while.
The first part ot this the attorney says
he has the best reason to believe was
untrue, and the second part afforded
but slight consolation. Here, then, half
a day after the time when it had been
agreed the abstract should be com
pleted, it had not as yet been touched,
and the attorney who needed it, after
this aggravating delay, was compelled
to go elsewhere to secure its continu
ance.
It is absolutely essential for the con
venience and security of the public that
the county offices should do their work
efficiently and promptly. People will
submit to a good deal, but not to dila
tory or slovenly service. This is par
ticularly true of an office like Mr. Mun
n \ m:>. An omitted deed or mortgage
might lead to very heavy pecuniary
loss, and a failure to turn out a paper at
the time promised might in these days
of mortgage foreclosures and redemp
tions mean the difference between a
home for a man and no home.
The Globe hopes that, if there is any
truth in the very general criticisms
which are heard about the county ab
stract, department, prompt measures
will be taken to remove the reason lor
them.
THE MINNEAPOLIS CHARTER.
The new charter for the government
of the city of Minneapolis lias passed
both houses of the state legislature, and
is now with the governor, awaiting his
signature. Nothing further need be
said of it than that it has the practically
unanimous approval of the Minneapolis
delegation, ami is t lie fruit of the most
serious and protracted work on their
part. Mr. Meubiam ought tor this, if
for no other reason, to add the final
requisite for its enactment, and the
Globe has no reason to doubt- that he
will. lie has over and over again ex
pressed himself as favoring the princi
ple of local self-government, and when
the representatives from an interested
section indorse a measure which con
cerns it it is pretty conclusive evi
dence that it is well adapted for
the purpose intended. It is one of the
unfortunate features of our generally
admirable system that what is to all in
tents and purposes a foreign body
should have tue task and prerogative 01
proscribing law? for our smaller polit
ical units, iiow can a member from
Kandiyohi or Blue Earth county uass an
intelligent judgment on the local needs
of Duluth or St. Paul? It is really im
possible for him to cast his vote in full
knowledge of the situation unless he
follows the expressions of opinion which
he hears from those who have been reg
ularly chosen to voice the wishes of the
district affected. If its representatives
do not understand its needs, no one can.
The governor appreciates this situation,
and when* there has been no division of
sentiment in the local delegation, as
there has been none in this instance,
his work is nothing further than a for
mality.
In one of Thomas Haui>\"> novels
there is a very effective victure of a
faithful shepherd dog, which was one
day, by chance, allowed to taste the
Besn of lamb fettled in the run. Stimu
lated by the experience, and in mis
taken zeal, he shortly afterwards de
voured all the hero's Hock, and out of
the ruin which followed comes the plot
of the story. There is a feeling abroad
that, having once begun to use his veto
power, Mr. Jlkiikiam is now liable to
embark on a career of executive car
nage which will put Axdkkw Johnson'
in the historical background. There is
probably nothing in this. Our governor
knows the difference between a dead
lamb and a living one, and he i? not in
clined to figure us an obstruction on the
clearly expressed popular desires.
A DEMOCRATIC DAY.
Some of those who propose to cele
brate the birthday of Thomas Jeffer
son have the date fixed for Thursday,
the Mof April. In these times it is a
good idea to turn back to the broad
philosophies of the accepted sire of mod
ern Democracy, and there is no good ob
jection to selecting the 2d day of April.
Most of the biographies and tncyclo
inedias give that as the proper date, and
Tfl£ SAINT PAUL, FAILY GLOBE: IT3ESDAY MOBEUNGr, MAKuu. 31, 18J , L .
if the fortunate paternal Jeffebsox
made any memorandum in his diary at
the time, it will be found to be April 2,
1743. Others insist that April to is the
day that should be used. Their view ia
that the latter date is to be taken the
same as Washington's natal occasion
is the 23d, and not the 11th of
February. Under the 'old style" chro
nology dates are pushed back eleven
days, or rather the "new style" ad
vanced them to that extent. The latter
was adopted by <Jreat Britain and her
colonies in 17.Y2, and historians of events
prior to that time add the eleven days
to bring them into chronological har
mony with the present usage. Some
poliUcal agency at Washington sends
out requests to commemorate on the 2d
of April, but the regular observance at
the University of Virginia, near Monti
cello, is always on April 13. Those who
would have the true date will, of course,
take the latter. It is not necessary to
mention that Jefferson died on the
4th of July. Such patriotic thoughtful
ness is rare.
WILJj DOXXKLLY BE THERE?
The Globe has received an invitation
to attend the first commercial congress
or tiie Western states, which is to be
held at Kansas City troin the 14th to the
lJStn, of April. Fifteen subjects are
surely to be discussed and settled there,
and the executive committee In its cir
cular solicits everybody who has a book
of topics for debate to send it to
the secretary with appropriate ones
marked, so that there may be no lack
of material for the visiting orators to
sweat over. The soiree will be opened
with an olio on "General Business and
Agricultural Depression— Cause and
Remedy," in which the entire company
will participate. The convention will
determine why business and agriculture
depress, and how they can be cured of
this offensive habit. The Globe has
not been asked to contribute to the gen
eral fund of Information which will be
poured out on this occasion, but it ven
tures to surest in advance that these
tilings depress for the same reason that
Aimkmi > Ward his eldest daugh
ter when she was inquiring of the new
piano forte, '-Why do summer flowers
fade. He said that it was because it
was their biz to fade. This would seem
to be the matter with trade and agri
culture. They are apparently con
structed on a plan which makes it part
of their nature to flop.
The fifteenth question on the list is
"The Indian question and Opening of In
dian Lands." The GLOBE is glad that
this matter is eoing to be tackled and
finally disposed of. It is high time that
something were done with it, and it is
very kind of the coneress not to over
look it when it has such subjects as
"Legislation as Affecting Commerce,
Transportation and Finance,'' and the
"Irrigation of Arid Lands,' 3 to take its
attention. For more than half a century
the problem as to whether the Indians
ought to be exterminated has taken too
much of the best energies of the suc
cessive senior classes of our high schools
and the fresh young blood of our sopho
more debating societies. It has got to be
a crying shame that it should continue
in this slyle unsolved. Our unsradu
ates have not been able to do anything
conclusive with it, any more than they
have with that other great question,
"Did the assassination of JULIUS CfiSAB
benefit mankind?" Their feverish agi
tation can now be curbed. If they can
wait less than a month and then read
the Globe's Kansas City dispatches
they will be moored forever and for aye
in a haven where the waves of doubt on
this matter will no longer buffet them.
The Globe i< golns to this congress.
It accepts the kind invitation. This,
perhaps, might be taken for granted,
because the GLOBE goes everywhere.
But a more important question is, will
our icxMii > Doxxki.i.v be able to go?
How about this. Mr. Donnki.i.y'.' lie
really has a conflict of tidinesses be
tween which it will be hard for him to
decide. April 14 to 18 will be among
the closing days of our legislative ses
sion, and the Sage will be needed here.
Then will be his last opportunities to
make twenty-five speeches a day, for sr>,
on every topic under the sun, from the
regulation of railroads down to the ad
journment of the senate tor lunch.
There will be a lot of compound oxygen
to be injected into our phthisic body po
litic at this time, and if our rotund thes
mothete from Dakota county is not on
hand to pump the bellows who will be
able to? On the other hand, just con
sider how he will be needed at Kansas
City. The ninth subject to be settled
there is taxation. The .Sage knows more
about this than any living man. He is
the author of a bill for the taxa
tion or mortgages which surpasses in
beauty and completeness the opium
eater's dreams. It is the ouly bill of
the present session which unblushingly
and avowedly undertakes to work a
miracle. The people at Kansas City
are all crying lor Dunm.i.i.v ou Taxa
tion. They want him, 100, on the four
teenth topic of debate. '•Federal and
.State .Statistics." He is a thoroughbred
in this line. He can sandwich quota
tions from Robert Burns and ac
curate figures of his own invention, ac
cording to a recipe which would make
the fortune of the ham and egg gentle
men on Seventh street if they knew it.
What is to be done about this, gentle
men of the legislature. Mr. Donnki.i y
must go to Kansas City, and at the same
time the regeneration of society in Min
nesota must not be interrupted. Can
not the clock be turned back for those
four days by a joint resolution properly
engrossed?
The fact is recorded that Gen. Palm
er, now senator, in his oftieial reuort to
his corps commander at the battle of
Chickatsauga, stated that he "commit
ted an error" in directing Giiose to
move to the right, where a severe h'eht
was going on. It is not remembered
that commanders were in the habit of
admitting errors in their operations,
although it is believed that they were
not all exempt. But Gen. Pai.mi.i: was
promoted to the command of a corps
after that Gght
lr is nonsense about Senator En
mi Nik wanting to go out of the senate,
lie is rich, and finds his enjoyment in
that sort of business, lie will not be as
old as his colleague for seventeen years.
Xo doubt ho sees the blunder of his
party in not nominating him for presi
dent, but it would not relieve the mat
ter to sulk into private life.
The pressure is becoming too great
for the Republicans in the legislatures
of Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hamp
shire. The indications are that the re
form ballot will go through in spite of
the opinions of the Republican leaders
that it will be disastrous to the part3\
It may be ruinous either nay.
Tin: president's trip to the Pacific
seems to him as a tour for recreation,
lie has perhaps begun to feel a depres
sion in view of the nominating events of
next year that duck hunting will not
relieve.
It is frankly admitted when Speaker
llkki> and Maj. McKini.ky insist that
the late s eoneress did more business
tlian any predecessor since the war.
The expenditure of a thousand million
dollars is conclusive evidence of this.
GLOBE TOWER SHOTS.
Well, now is the time to diaw n long breath
and inquire: ■ Who wrote Snakespeare?"
In tiie late Shakespearean controversy it is
undoubtedly true that our Ignatius Donnelly
had the best of the argument. Actual crimi
nals have been cleared by the eloquence of
their attorneys. But it remains for slr. Don
nelly to prove that the gentle William, the
modest man with the small- pointed beard,
the intimate frieud of Ben Jonson; the
uiau who was intimately acquainted with
all the technique of the contempenuieous
stage: the man who was '-after the stutl"" and
Knew how to corral au audience; the niaii
who made more grammatical errors in his
composition and more mistakes in preserving
his unities— we Bay. it will be hard for Mr.
Donnelly to lay all these sins of com
position at the door of the highly
educated uud correct writer. Fraucis
Bacon. Air. Donnelly has no right to claim
that all the xeniiis of Shakespeare was Ba
con's, and ail the errors were ihose of some
obscure playwright. When the reader ap
proaches Shakespeare he comes in contact
witti one who stands before the world In a
most unique aspect. He is to the drama
what jiobert Burns is to poetry. Neither
was a highly educated man. And yet the
name of Robert Burns will iive loug after
the names of eminent Scottish philosophers
and essayists have been forgotten.
The recent death of Charles F. Chickering,
in New York, the great piano maker, recalls
an Incident in the life of one of Minnesota's
pioneers. The gentleman referred to was
for thirty years an expert in the manufacture
of pianofortes, and iv the prosecution of the
business lost his health. In order to save a
few remaining years he removed from Bos
ton, where he was a member of the tirm of
Hiillet, Davis & Co.. to Rochester. Minn
There he lived ten years, and there he is
buried. But one day he weut to the manu
factory of Chickering & Co., and asked per
mission to iro through their works.
'•Who are you?"' was the inquiry of
Charles P. Chickering.
The gentleman gave his uame.
".No. sir," replied Mr. (/bickering, "yon
cannot go through our works. We know you
and we know your ability. You work for
Ballet, Davis & Co., and in less than two
weeks you would have out a sounding
board and newly improved action that would
lay out all of our efforts for two years. Good
day, sir.' 1

NOT AFRAID OF TEXAS.
Stanley Will Go Through His Pres

Dallas, Tex., March CO.— Henry
Green wal, manager of the Texas and
Louisiana theatrical circuit, was Inter
viewed here to-day concerning the
alleged statement of Henry M. Stanley
to the effect that he feared kukluxing
in Texas, and had canceled all dates
for the state. Mr. Greenwall says
Stanley's engagements at Dallas, Fort
Worth, Houston and (ialveston has not
been canceled, though they are past
due. He does not believe Mr. Stanley
made the statement attributed to him.
for it he did he would hardly dare to go
to New Orleans, where he is lecturing
to-night. The reports of unfriendly
criticisms of Stanley by Texas press are
greatly exaggerated or altogether un
true, and the people of the state regret
that his route was changed so as to ex

Errors Discovered in the Lower
Court's Rulings.
Ottawa, 111.. March :;o.— ln tiie mat
ter of James West versus The People,
the judgment of the court below is re
versed and the case remanded. The
opinion is by the court, and does not
enter into the merits of West's guilt or
innocence, but deals exclusively with
the lower court's rultngfi and instruc
tions, and ;the indictment, in both of
which errors are discovered, in the
seventh and eighth counts the motion
Of counsel to quash indictment in court
below was overruled. The court holds
that they should havo been sustained,
and adds:
••The jury found defendant Graham not
guilty, and defendant West guilty. The mo
tion to quash was based ou the effect that in
dictment was defective in not setting out of
lense.
Second— That there was a misjoinaer of
felonies In the indictment. Quoting Bishop,
the court says an indictment which does not
set down, at lea.-t in general lerms, all the
element, of the offense,everytfaing which the
law has made essential to the punishment it
imposes is void, because the allegation does
not deseeud far enough into the the partic
ulars, aud be sufficiently certain iv its form
of words to give the defendant reasonable
notice ol what is meant, yet ou the ether
hand, none of our constitutions forbid the
the abolishing of the common law forms if
other adequate forms are y>rovided Iv their
stead. The opinion clones as follows: Not
only did the court err in refusing to eompe[
the prosecution to elect, bin the same error
was carried into the instructions given on oe
half of the people. The jury was permitted
by the instructions to (md defendant guilty
of issuing the certificates for 100 shares men
tioned, as evidence shows 32, 33, 34 and 35.
It is insisted that the defendant is guilty
therefore.
Chicago, March 30.— The case of
.7. J. West vs. The People of the State
of Illinois, in which an opinion was
handed down by the supreme court at
Ottawa to-day, grows out of a straggle
for the possession of the Chicago Times.
Several years ago Mr. West, Clinton A.
Snowden, then owners of the Mail, an
afternoon paper, secured the co-opera
tion of the lluiskamp Bros, company
and other wealthy capitalists of
Keokuk, 10., and bought the Times
from the heirs ot its founder, the late
Wilbur F. Storey. West was installed. ;
as manager of the paper on behalf of
the syndicate. The company became
so largely involved by the extravagant
management of West that the lluis
kamps and their associates found it
necessary to oust Mr. West from the
management in order to protect
the property. An investigation of
the affairs of the company disclosed
the fact that there was an over-issue of
stock to the extent of several hundred
shares. Criminal proceedings were at
once instituted against West and the
secretary of the company, Graham.
West was found guilty and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment in the state
penitentiary, while Graham was acquit
ted. An appeal was taken to the su
preme court, which rendered its decis
ion to-day.

FATHER CRAFT'S PLEA.
Indiana and Whites 'at the Mercy
of Rascals.
Providence. 15. 1., March SO. — Mr.
Eugene T. McAuliffe, of this city, yes
terday received a letter dated Pine
Itidge Agency, March 33, from Rev.
Father Francis M. j. Craft, the Indian
missionary, who predicted the recent
Indian troubles, and who himself was
shot at Woundod Knee. In the commu
nication, Father Craft earnestly points
out the danger of more serious trouble
unless the Indians are placed under
control of the war department. He says
in part:
. "As the case stands now the cause
of the trouble still exists, and In
dians and whites are at the mercy of
any rascal who finds it to his interest to
annoy and endanger them. The only
thing- that stands in the way of a speedy
and permanent settlement of all diffi
culties by an immediate transfer of the
Indians to the war department is the
desire of the politicians to retain
plunder. As those politicians are our i
public servants and in. .our power, we
American ' citizens - should- use our
power to turn them out of the offices ,
they have abused to our loss and dis
grace. With the people rest the remedy,
and on them will rest the blame if they
will not bestir themselves. Every word
that 1 have said for tiie past year bas
been verified, and more "than verified,
and I think it is now time for Amer
icans to say what they are going to do.
The Americans are responsible, if they
fail to act at once, for evils that will
certainly follow. Heaven grant that I
may not now be making another predic
tion to be lightly disregarded and terri
bly verified. If the Indians are
not to be transferred to the war depart
ment, but are to be further robbed and
abuser, 1 suppose I must prepare for
anothes dose of lead ana steel, which
will, I hope, be more effective than the
last. lam heartily sick and" tired of
witnessing miseries that I cannot, cor
rect, and sharing the suffering of the
unfortunate Indians and brave soldiers
who are forced into conflict and then
slandered by the cowardly politicians
who slaughtered them."

SAID BY SIMPSON.
Chat With the Socklcss Statesman ;
From Kansas.
New York. March — An . evening
paper says that Congressman Jerry
Simpson, ot Kansas, the noted Farmers'
Alliance orator, was at the Windsor
hotel to-day. He occupied a t6-a~day
room, and seemed to be perfectly at
home in the . house where millionaires
stop. This dialogue took place between
Mr. Simpson and a reporter:
Some' of the Republican papers in New
Hampshire say Senator Chandler invited you
to speak iv that state. Did he?"
'•1 have never heard anything about it. I
spoke their under the auspices of the Far
mers' Alliance. It was rather queer that I
should be accused of being an ally of the
Republicans iv the North. Now in the South
the Democrats declare the Farmers' Alliance
is in with the Republicans, and in the North
the Republicans declare we are nothing but
Democrats. And between the two we go
ahead, gather strength, and in 1893 both par
ties will see what we are and whether we
can paddle our own canoe."
. . '•Do.you expect to run a candidate of your
own for the presidency*' 1
"I think so, but cannot say yes yet. Next
year some time we will have a big conference
and decide what we shall do. It looks tome
as .if we should .be able to put a candidate
into the fleid and win."
.--. "You are accused of helping to elect Sena
tor Palmer. Did you lend him any aid?"
"Weil. I went by Springfield, and I am not
sorry that Mr. Palmer has been elected sena-
Why should I not want to see him elected
senator? We want to hold the balance of
power in the senate and in the bonse, and
naturally I did not wish to see a Republican
elected, "because it would lessen our chances
in the senate."
"How do yon expect to have the balance of
power in the senate by the election of Sena
tor Palmer*" KMB
"Easy enough. lie is a Democrat and will
rote against protection, and against the Re
publicans on every vital issue. 'Weir, with
Pefl'er and Kyle and the several silver sena
tors from tha" West, the Alliance expects to
i repeal the present tariff. Thnt is our aim,
;aiid I do not think we can fail."
}, Mr. Simpson said Chicago had taller build
■ ings than. New York, some of them being
. twenty stones high. This is his first visit to
New York, and he intends to see the city
thoroughly. His address will not be the

Despite the Pain the Local

Karris' Theater Packed With
People to Hear Gompers'
Lecture.
A Typical Labor Talk Sand
wiched With Sensible
Counsel.
The love of the American pnblic for
anything in the shape of a parade was
very fully exemplified last night, when
over :2.000 people stood waiting in the
rain on Third street to see the trades
and labor procession march past. What
a night it was. Dark as the hub of
Hades; murky, lowering clouds over
head, from which the penetrating mist
-__?^ t5^X

drove earth
ward and
soaked the he
roes in blue
and gold who
furnished the
music. Just
such a night as
would not be
chosen for any
thing like an
open-air dem
ons trat i o n.
PresidentGom
pers, of the
American Fed
eration of La-
oor. who arrived in the city Sunday,
was scheduled to address labor organ
izations at the Harris theater: the
parade was on the programme, and had
to come off, no matter what sort of
weather prevailed, and come off
it did. ('apt. Budy and his mount
ed patrol led the van. Then
came deist's band, resplendent for the
present in immaculate uniforms. The
trades and labor assembly followed, and
behind them the members of the cigar
makers' union. To be exact though.
President (iompers' carriage followed
the band, with him being; representa
tives of the trades " and labor
assembly and the cigarrnakers'
union. Everything was all right
so long as the procession re
mained stationary, but when Capt.
liudy's "forward march" started the
motion, there was fun. The route was
up Third street, and Third street at that
particular moment was the beastliest
slough to be found anywhere off a hog
farm. Drum Major i'eise gave his
gilded baton a couple r>f artistic twirls,
and forthwith stepped knee deep into an
improvised buffalo wallow. Those
beautiful dark blue inexpressibles were
irretrievably ruined, but the drum
major didn't mind it at all. He
gave the baton another twirl, |
viciously this time, and strode I
boldly Dp the street to the inspiring
measure of "The Grenadiers." Straight
ahead, over all obstacles, and through j
all sorts of unpleasantness, went the j
nobie army of martyrs. Some of them i
fell out now and again to take double
reefs in their trousers, but not so the
major. He had not even deigned to
turn up the hem of his garment, but
went through the murky darkness in
the teeth of the storm, with all sail set
and colors flying. It was a piece of
heroism of the kind which most often
coes unrewarded, but Maj. Feise can
congratulate himself on having passed
through that very disagreeable ordeal
like a soldier of the old guard.
The cigarmakers and others, num
bering about three hundred, who
brought up the rear, made the length of
the street leaping from hillock to hillock
like Swiss goats, but the mud was too
many for them. The awful ravages
made by the mire were not fully appre
ciated or understood until the Harris
theater had been reached, and the band
was lined up in front of the mounted
police in the searching glare of the
electric light. Alas for those swell
uniforms; they were a sight. As the
platoon stood there awaiting the arrival
of the carriage they had escorted, the
members of the band looked for all the
world like the survivors of a desperate
charge. They had done their duty
though. The president of the American
Federation of Labor had been escorted
in uroper style despite the elementary
awkwardness, and as Maj. t'eise lod his
mud-stained heroes away there was
righteous pride in his bearing.
President Gompers' Address.
Harris theater was well filled with
representative laboring men and citi
zens to hear the address of .Samuel
(tampers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. About thirty gen
tlemen occupied seats on the stage,
and a number of ladies enjoyed seats in
boxes. Mayor Smith wrote a letter to
President ltyder, of the St. Paul Trades
and Labor Assembly, regretting his ina
bility to be present owing to illness
which has confined him to his home for
the past two weeks. Hon. Albert
Schetfer also sent regrets and said that
sickness alone prevented his being pres
ent. President Ryder introduced the
distinsuished labor representative with
well timed remarks. Mr. Gouipers was
Riven a hearty reception as he arose to
speak.
He began with reference to the interest
shown in labor organizations. He spoke of
the discussion of labor questions by all
classes of people, the sympathy *hown by
friends and trie imprecations hsaped up
against organized labor by some classes of
employers. He said that the modern labor
agitator is the target of their imprecations,
aud that he is one of th:it class of agitators.
However much he disliked to bearoused
from his slumbers by
A Cry or Fire,
yet he preferred it to beiug burned in his
couch. What the man who gave that alarm
is to the numbering man such is the labor
agitator to the country, and he would
not be diverted from his purpose by
the imprecations of the employer as
loug as the wage earner has a wrong
to be righted. If the employers pushed their
opposition too far the time would come
when the iabor would be constrained to cry
out to them: "Where you go we cannot go";
where you lodge we cannot lodge; your Ciod
shall not be our God." He justified agitation
of labor problems on the grouud that it ar
gues the progress of the government, and
added: "Show me a country where there is
contentment atid.l will show you a country of
shivery. .Show me a '-ountry* where there ia
discontent and I will show you a prosperous
country. 'Peace reigned in Warsaw," but it
was a peace forced at the point of the bayo
net."' H« argued that since laborers are the
producers of wealth they" have the right to
insist on
A Larger Share
in its distribution of their product. They
should continue to ask for more in a pro
gressive ratio until they get the full value of
labor. Said he: "If 1 read the signs aright
the time is approacning when the laborers
will get more. The social condition must be
improved and is improving, aud the labor
er's wages should be measured by the social
position he rills." He illustrated the piopo
sition by saying that a man, who earns adol
lar wants '.en cent.- more-. Those who now
enrn more want a proportionate increase.
The professional man wants his salary iu
oreaacl: the man of moderate wealiii wants
it doubled, and the millionaire wants all he
can get. even to the whole of the earth.
He urged organisation of laborers, aud said
it is necessary to place them in a positiou to
demand their rights from the combinations
of capital. A body of workingmeu might
appeal in vain to employers if not organized,
but :i delegation from a labor organization
would Lave its demands granted. \\ hilst
Dot in favor of striKes, he favored being
Ready tor a Strike,
as nothing is so potent to prevent it as being
ready for it when necessary. lie favored
arbitration, but he did nut want to arbitrate
with the highwayman when he was un
armed: but give him a gun and put him on
equal footing with the highwayman and he
was ready to talk the matter over. There
could be no arbitration between a lion and a
lamb, but there might be arbitration between
two lambs or two lions. When England has
a dispute with Ziiluland she sends her men
of-war out and begins a bombardment, hut
when she has 11 dispute with the limed
states she asks for arbitration. He believed
in having power to resent force with force,
and then arbitration can be possible.
He then stated tnat the present agitation is
about the eight-hour movement. and proceed
ed to discuss the objections raised by employ
er* and to controvert them. lie "declared
that the countries of long hours and cheap
labor
Are Degraded.
while the reverse is true of countries where
the hours of labor are short. He contended
that the like is true when comparing two
countries, two states, two cities or even two
establishments in the same city. U here the
shorter hours obtain the concern or country
is the most prosperous. The man who works
twelve or fourteen hours has no) even an
hour for dinner, whilst the man who works
eight or nine hours has a time for dinner
and a better home. A country regulates its
wagea by the demands "or needs of
the laboring neople. If they de
manded homes, they can " have
tneru by organization atid forcing their
employers to give them shorter hours and
higher wages. lie condemned the press of
St Paul for not urging the passage of the In
terest bill. The labor organizations lnst year
demanded shorter hours for t lie carpenters,
and the demand was acceded to; this year
they are niakmjr a like demand for the coal
miners, and in a week or two the miners will
make a formal demand. Wherever he goes
about the country, he asks organized labor
to assist the coal miners in ttiis demand.

vor of woman suffrage, and said ii'i/MM
workiugmen had petitioned for woman suf
frage. Heaskcii thai the legislature be urged
to pass a law before it adjourned preventing
the employment of children under 14 years
of as*e. After speaking nearly two hours he
turned to sit down when a note was handed
him and be proceeded to discuss boycotting,
and said he was in favor of it until the legis
lature should prohibit it. He said at present
there is a boycott upon Anheuser-Busch
beer and Clark's i». N. T.cotton because their
manufacturers would uot accede to the de
mands of labor organizations. He said ihe
tetail clerks will soon don an A. 1". of L. but
ron, and asked people to favor their move
ment for early closing.
Mr. Gompers was repeatedly greeted with
applause throughout his address, and tie
made a favorable impression by his earnest
and conservative address.
DFPEW IN A BOY.
He Appears Before the Grand
Jury on a Serious Charge.
Nkw Yoi:k, March 30.— Chauncey M.
Depew was subpoenaed to appeal before
tiie errand jury as a witness in its in
vestigation into the causes responsi
ble for the collision attended by
fire in the New York Central tunnel.
After Mr. Depew had given his testi
mony the grand jury prepared a num
ber of questions upon which they
wanted information and submitted
them to Judge Fitzgerald, The judge,
after looking up the statute, said:
"The statute provides that the grand jury
mar ask the advice of the court, as they are
doing now very properly, and may also ask
the advice of the district attorney. And uo
member of the grand jury has a righl to put
any construction of bis own on the law. or to
take the advice of any one but the court or
the district; attorney. "Now. what docs the
statute say in regard to this? It provides
that a person concerned in the commission of
a crime, whether he performs it or Rids or
abets in its commission, is a person for the
grand jury to act upon. In relation to the
matter of directors, which you are iuquiring
about a: present, have those persons the con
trol and management of the road? It" so it
is their duty to see that the requirements or
law for .safety of the traveling pub.ic are re
spected. There should be no hesitation of
the grand juiy to act upon tbe law as ap
plied to them. Any person concerned
in the com mission of an act ia a
member of the liable party. The law
says that some person Khali be respon
sible. Those people control the manage
ment ot this road. They have a clear duty
imposed upon them by the statute. It' they
have violated the statute an indictment
should be found: and, let me say. that while
it is proper that, in cases where persona of
eminent standing in the community nave
serious charges made against them, it is well
carefully to inquire into all particulars, yet
the taw requires liiat the same law should be
enforced against them as against any one
else, if the facts warrant an Indictment, an
indictment should be found."
Judge Fitzgerald's words created
soma little stir in court. After lie had
once more taken his seat a juror arose
for further instruction. In answer to
the questions of the juror the court said
that the directors could be charged with
misdemeanor, as well as the corpora
tion. There is not a doubt in the mind
of any person who was in the court
room when the jury filed out but that a
true bill will be found against the di
rectors of the road.
THi: DIRECT TAX,
Treasury Officials Consider the
Best Means or Paying it.
Washington, 1). C. March ;;o.—
Treasury officials are considering the
best method of settling the direct tax
claims of individuals in those states
! where the tax was collected directly by
| United States officers. The act provides
that in such cases the money in settle
ment of direct tax ".laims shall be paid
to the governors of the states iv trust
for the claimants, it so happens, how
ever, that the records of these collec
tions are iv the custody of the govern
ment, and that the governors have not
any information on the subject. Sev
eral ways out of the di&icultv have been
suggested and the one most likely to be
adopted is for the governors to appoint
agents to make transcripts on govern
ment records, and pay the claims in ac
i cordance therewith. Under this plan
I the states will be allowed to retain all
j that portion of its allotment for which
claims shall not be presented within six
I years from the date of the passage of
1 the act.
The Galena's Condition.
Washington, March 30.— As ii ap
peais that the Galena, which was floated
and towed into Vineyard Haven yester
day, is in fair condition and not leaking
in "great quantities, the navy depart
ment has directed that she continue on
her voyage to Portsmouth, N. H., for
which place she was bound when
wrecked on (Jay Head. When she ar
rives at Portsmouth she will be exam
ined by a naval board to ascertain the
extent of her injuries. II they are so
severe as to make it impossible to repair
the ship at a cost not exceeding 20 per
ceutofher value, it will be necessary
to condemn and sell her.
In Search of His Boy.
Denver, March UO.— Thomas Clark,
a boy sixteen years old, who carries the
mail from Oil City to Roogy. Wyo., i 3
reported to have lost his way, and has
not been heard from since iast Sunday.
The route is over a terrible road. The
snow in that section is live feet on the
level, and the boy is supposed to have
lost his way. His father, \V. A. Clark,
started to hunt him Friday in the midst
or a driving snow storm, aud lias not
been heard from. Search parties are
looking for them. Yesterday a horse
driven by the father was found dead
between Ervay and Oil City. Serious
apprehensions are had for both. The
storm is rasing in that vicinity, and it
is the worst in history of the country.
A Question for I-'oster.
Washington, March 30.— The court

pel the treasury department to accept a
silver brick for free coinage should not
